Answer:

C

Explanation:

When the bank receives $ 1 million, because of the required reserve ratio, $200,000 would be subtracted ($1,000,000*0,2=$200,000). If the bank chooses not to hold any excess reserves then the remaining amount is $800,000. The bank decides to make a loan with this amount, which means a bank´s customer will receive $800,000. At the moment the customer receives this amount, he or she gets a debt with the bank. In the bank´s balance, there is a increase in assets because the bank will receive this amount of money in the future; the bank´s customer has a legal obligation to pay the debt. Is not a increase in liabilities because the bank has no obligation to pay, conversely, the bank will receive this amount.
